The Shop Kitchen - Santa Barbara

Delicious food. Busy but there’s a lot of seating. Highly recommend the chilaquiles and the chicken Caesar wrap

When I got there I noticed that you had to order first nd pay before they take you to a table either inside or outside. I felt pressured to order quickly, I should have stand aside and let others order first. I didn’t enjoy the fact they have very limited dairy free options. Their signature dishes looked so good but for my case not aplicable (contained dairy). The customer service at the order and sitting needs work, a more professional approach instead of an indifferent one. I gave it a four star because the employees in the kitchen were very nice, attentive and friendly and because their water service is a do it yourself and didn’t seemed the most hygienic when refilling it. It is still a great idea, I see how is beneficial for the restaurant. But for my personal experience I prefer the full service. The food was good, I gave it a four star because I some dishes had sides with a bland flavor. The environment was very nice, I enjoy an outdoor restaurant surrounded by plants. Overall, I wouldn’t go back only because of the limited dairy free dishes. But I do recommend to those that don’t have those restrictions to try it out.

Best brunch in Santa Barbara! Talk about leading by example, the owner here is amazing! He was involved in everything, he was passing out menus/taking orders/seating guests. Service was flawless and quick. The food and drinks were exceptional! Best **** Mary I’ve had in Santa Barbara since I’ve moved here. 10/10

The Rollex and Almond Butter Bread with Banana were so good, we ate here 3 days straight for breakfast last February, and again in June when we were visiting.

Love love love The Shop! This is our goto breakfast spot. I especially love the Lyon salad and the Like A Tiger omelet. The potatoes are amazing and their homemade hot sauce is just perfect. My husband likes the Rolex and the Sando. Quick great service and nice outdoor patio as well.
